Coming up...

On a side note, I was wondering about setting up waves for the 20 reppers kind of like 5/3/1 uses. Take 3 weeks and hit a new max, then three more weeks to hit another new max. Might be something to consider as things get really intense?

I think it's a good idea. Each time I ran 20 reppers I started to hit a mental wall where I just did not want to add weight each week. So I would abandon the great conditioning and muscle building potential that cam from them.

Brilliant idea, in my opinion. I will probably steal it and turn it into a workout, giving you credit

Mentally much easier to give it 100% Once a month at some point.

I've been running it over in my mind trying to come up with a good plan. Probably impliment something around 250-280 lbs. I'm thinking...

Week1:
65% x 5
75% x 5
85% x 5
65% x 20

Week 2:
70% x 3
80% x 3
90% x 3
70% x 20

Week 3:
75% x 5
85% x 3
95% x 1, 1, 1
75% x 20

Really like that idea OR, in the long run you will be able to keep the program going for longer this way

That will work. Good plan.

Trying out the new programming today. I think I'm going to like it, it should make for a nice long progression. Next week is a deload and I'll also be on a family trip for the last part of the week. I'll get some rest, some food, and be ready to get after it!!!
